spikesblazin from this board lives practically in site of that building I guess. He said they were closing off roads and wouldn’t let them leave their houses. He was origionally under the impression it was a sniper.
Maybe he will chime in for first hand perspective.
Those are cheap to operate. Good thing we didn’t let this guy off himself. That would have been swift, effective justice, something that we do not promote here in the U.S.
…preferably texting him in an effort to have him scrawl “Pittspeed Rulez!” or something similarly inane into his chest with a bowie knife before turning his head into unrecognizable hamburger.
